About

A wonderful wife, mother and friend

Gertrude was the life and soul of the party.  You could hear her laugh before you could see her.  She certainly enjoyed life and lived up to the the words of Agnes Browne "We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time".  She is no doubt the life and soul of the party with her family and friends above so lucky to have met her again so soon.

My memories

Ciara Murphy Greene Jul 30, 2009

Gertrude,when I think of you I think of the wonderful homemaker you were. You were always busy doing something. Never phased by a house full of people to feed. I hope you are at peace now. I know you have left a big void in many people's lives.
In loving memory

Your special day 34 years ago!

kavo_elaine Jun 20, 2009

My beautiful mam,
You held your youngest son in your arms 34 years ago today. I can only imagine the hopes and joy you held in your heart that day. Your youngest son has turned out to be a wonderful joy to everyone who knows him, and that's thanks to you. While we all celebrate his birthday today, please know that he holds a special place in his heart for you and like all of us, misses you always....love you very much mam, I'll check in again soon, Elaine xxx

Happy Birthday Mama!

Hi mam,
I'm sorry I'm only wishing you a happy birthday today, I tried to log on yesterday, but the site was down for maintenance, didn't they know whose birthday it was!!
I think about you every day and miss you in my heart. The 45-min drive home each days allows me time to chat with you and shed a few tears.
I am reading a wonderful book grief at the moment that has been answering questions I didn't even know I had stored inside.
Stephan took me to Crivellos last night to cheer me up, I had a souper salad in your honour!
I thought I saw you the other night waving at me in the bedroom, but I fear imagination plays tricks on my willingness to see you. Maybe we can connect in one of my dreams soon.
I learned last night that Josh's mom's anniversary was yesterday...the same day as you and dad's birthday, so your paths may cross up there and you can share some stories!
I love you very much and miss you always, I'll check in again soon, Elaine xxx

My Memory

Karissa Dolan May 20, 2009

I was never able to meet Gertrude but I do know Elaine and the way she spoke of her was as if I had known her all my life. My heart goes out to the family and my dear friend Elaine. I wish I was able to meet her and share in some of the amazing memories I have heard.
In Friendship,
Karissa Dolan
